What is the Best Way to Upgrade an Unusable Deck?
Answer: Combine it with a Stamped Concrete Patio and Screened Porch.
Many homeowners face a common problem: an existing deck that becomes too hot to use in the summer or a deck that doesn’t fit their needs, rendering their backyard space unusable.
This was the exact challenge a recent client brought to us. Instead of a full demolition, we designed a transformative solution that added a screened porch, a new roof, and a sprawling stamped concrete patio—effectively doubling their functional outdoor living space.
The Transformation.
Structural Integrity & Design
- Strategic Deck Repurpose: We stripped the existing deck down to its sturdy skeleton and reinforced it to meet code for the new additions
- Shed Roof Installation: Added a single-pitch shed roof over the deck to provide essential shade and weather protection, directing weight to the front of the structure
- Full Permit Compliance: Secured all necessary building and zoning permits and passed all required inspections for safety and compliance
Functional Living Additions
- Custom Screened Porch: Created a bug-free outdoor room with an unfinished, rustic ceiling that exposes the natural wood rafters per the homeowner’s request
- New Access Points: Installed a new set of stairs and a storm door for seamless entry and exit
- Added a Stamped Concrete Patio: Significantly increased livable space with a new patio area, providing a cool, durable surface for entertaining
Material & Aesthetic Selection
- Composite Decking: Used Clamshell-colored decking with a white railing and black aluminum balusters for a low-maintenance, high-contrast look
- Premium Stamped Concrete: Installed an Ashlar Slate pattern with a blend of Soft Gray, Medium Gray, and Dark Gray release agents for a natural, multi-tonal stone appearance
- Accent Wall: Built a Granite Blend retaining wall with Dark Gray coping to define the space and add structural beauty
